Just because a casino bonus is good for one player doesn’t mean it’s ideal for you as well. It’s important to look at the quality factors of each bonus to see if it’s a good fit. This should be based on the games you play and how often you’re playing casino games.
The four main categories that can be used to judge a casino bonus are:
- Amount: The value of the bonus
- Game Context: Which games can it be used with
- Redeemable/Non-Redeemable: Can I redeem the entire bonus
- Wagering Requirements: How you can redeem bonus money
Amount
Beginning with the Welcome Package, all deposit bonuses have minimum and maximum limits, and your deposit size must fall in between these limits. Many bonus offers will match your deposit. If the minimum limit is more than you want to deposit, it’s best to wait for another bonus offer that fits within your budget.
Game Context
Bonus offers can be game-specific or genre-specific. If you’re only playing online slot games, avoid claiming a bonus that can exclusively be used with table games. Even within the slot game bonuses, some bonuses can only be redeemed while playing specific slots. Since Slots Heaven is a single-bonus casino, if you’re holding a bonus for a game you won’t play, it will prevent you from claiming another bonus for a game you will play.
Redeemable / Non-Redeemable
There are two types of bonus money; redeemable and non-redeemable:
- Redeemable Bonus: This is the most common type of bonus money. When you claim the bonus, the money is added to your casino bonus account, and it can be used to bet on eligible games based on the Terms and Conditions of the specific bonus. Any money that is won while using bonus money is also deposited to the casino bonus account, and it can only be redeemed once you’ve met the wagering requirements or playthrough. When that happens, all the money is transferred into your general casino account, and you can do with it as you please.
- Non-Redeemable Bonus: With this type of bonus, the bonus money is also deposited to your casino bonus account and can be used for all eligible casino games. The difference is that with non-redeemable bonuses, once the wagering requirement is reached, only the money won can be transferred to the regular account. In contrast, the principle bonus money must remain in the bonus account. For example, if you have a $10 bonus and use it while playing Blackjack and win $10, you’ll have $20 in the bonus account. However, only the $10 that you win can be transferred, and the original $10 will remain.
Wagering Requirements
Most casino bonuses have a wagering requirement, also known as a rollover or playthrough. The idea behind this requirement is that a player can’t just claim a bonus and immediately withdraw the money without playing any casino games.
The wagering requirements are different from each bonus and with each casino game. Games with low house edges, like Blackjack will have a higher wagering requirement than slot games. Carefully read the Terms and Conditions when claiming a bonus, for a detailed breakdown of how to achieve the correct playthrough.
There are a few different kinds of wagering requirements at Slots Heaven:
- Multipliers of a deposit.
- Multipliers of the bonus issued.
- Sum of the multipliers of both the deposit and bonus amount.
You’ll notice they all include multipliers, whether it's the bonus money, the winnings, or a combination of both. What this means is that if you claimed a $20 slot game bonus with a 10x multiplier on the bonus money, you’d have to use that $20, twenty times, or $400 worth of bets on slot games before the bonus money, and all wins that came while using the bonus money can be transferred to your account.
